cOvery of the American continent by
the Norsemen? eve firmly believe"
says RasmuS B. Anderson, in his elabo-
rate and scholarly work on America
Not Discovered by Columbus" of which
the first edition appeared in 1874, 1--WE
firmly believe i'll evolution so far as the
discovery of America is concerned. We
believe that the voyages of the Phenici-
ans and the Greek Pytheas were the
germ that budded in the exploration of
Irish, Welshmen and NorSemen, and
eliminated in the discovery of America
by Columbus. Columbus added the last
link of the golden chain that was to
unite two cOntinents." And the writer
is no doubt right in these, his assertions.
How the conception of this remarkable

for the reader to know, by

writer in the Encyclopedia Britannica
on the same subject, before we go fur

HERON LAKE, Minn., May 16.-This
vicinity is excited over an attempted
rape case upon little girl of John War
rshotka, aged about l3 years, living about
three miles from town, by man named
William Abble. He left town in an in
texicated condition, and stopped at the
house to get drink. No one being in
except the girl, he attempted to rape
her, when her mother, who was in the
yard, heard her screams and came to her
assistance, and he fled. Her father came
to town and got the constable and Dep
uty Sheriff Spaulding after him. The
latter was lucky enough to overhaul him
about twelve miles from town. He re-
fused to pay another visit to this place,
button being pursuaded by forty-eight
long double-action, changed his mind and
came very reluctantly. He is now lodged
in Jail, and will be given hearing at 10

is to be hoped he will get time enough

DEs MONIES, Ia, May l6.-The 600
people present at Athletic park to-day
witnessed the most stubbornly-cOntested
game of ball yet played upon the home
grounds. The Duluth team put Ho-
lacher in the box. He proved to be in
elegant form, and being further rein
forced with Quinn, they played ball for
all they were worth. Several costly
errors were made by both sides, notably
Kellogg's muff of high fly in the fourth
inning, which let in two runs, and AL
worlds wild throw in the eighth, which
let in two on the visitors side, and tied
the game, in which condition it re-
manned until the twelfth inning,
when Sutcliffe went to bat and
hit for home run. Larocque and Bros
nan followed with singles, but the latter
was thrown out stealing second. letting
Larocque in. FaatZ hit for home run,
AlvOrd for two bases, Bryan went out,
Sage hit safe, Alvord scoring, Campbell
made single hit and Van Dyke retired
at first. Duluth made an effort to tie
again, but without success. Kellogg
and Quinn both crossed the home plate.
The bases were full, with but one man
out, when Faulkrod sent an easy one to
Brosnan. who assisted Faatz in double
play, ending the game. Campbell occu-
pied the box for the first time since his
illness a week ago and pitched great
game, keeping the visitors guessing

Deliberate Murder.

OMAHA, Neb., May 16.-At 10 o'clock
last night Dennis Quinlan, a young
carriage painter, was murdered in front
of Henry jones' saloon, on Vinton
street. His murderer is undiscovered.
Quinian was at beer garden dance and
had some words with three Germans.
Afterwards he left the hall and the Ger
mans followed. Coming in the light of
the saloon one of the trio pulled a revoi-
yer and fired at Quinlan. The bullet
entered the brain and he dropped dead.
Quinlan came from Kansas CITY.
August Schell and Chas Volmer were
arrested to-day for the murder of Den
mis- Quinlan at Miller's beer garden
last night. Volmer admitted as soon
as arrested that he shot Quinlan,
claiming self defense. His face was
cut where Quinlan struck him with a
stick. The prisoners are to ignorant
Germans. The coroner's jury heard
their testimony and returned a verdict
that they be held for further eXamina-
ton.

"Fjelds and fjords" are the two words
which occur to every schoolboy at the
mention of Norway. And it is true,'
remarks a writer on Norway" in the
FOrtnightly Review for September, 1885,
THAT their fjords and fields are the
great determining influences in the life
of the Norwegian people," 1t would be
hard, however, to point out any
country in Europe whose condition
at the present moment presents a more
satisfactory aspect than Norway. The
country, geographically, is vast, bar
ren plateau from two thousand to four
thousand feet in height, broken on the
one hand by Jagged, fantastic peaks, on
the other by the narrow fiSSureS, rather
than valleys, where men can dwell and
win scant subsistence. Fur
rowed'' is the epithet which Biornson
applies to Norway in his great national
song, and the habitable tracts are,
indeed, mere burrows in the primeval
rock. So much of the land of which we
write. The social life and political de-
velopment of Norway, its history and
rank among earth's civilized nations, is
the subject we now will dwell upon. 1t
is not perhaps universally known that
the constitution of Norway is the only
one that to-day survives out of all those
created or adopted to suit the theories of
democracy, especially that kind of demo-
cracy which prevailed in the beginning
OF this century. Though accepting the
king of Sweden as titular monarch, -
says Edmund w. GOsse in Northern
Studies, " Norway really rules itself:

society, and has not scrupled OH certain

Thus runs the narrative of the discov-
cry of America by Left Erikson, whose
statue has of late been raised to his
honor in Boston, Mass, and of which is
here given the reader picture The
discovery of America by Left Erikson
is, if properly presented, of just an
equal interest to Americans as to Nor
wegians themselves. For those who
are born and brought up on 1.-The fertile
soil of Columbia. under the Shady
branches of the noble tree of American
liberty, where the banner of progress
and education is unfurled to the
breeze" those must naturally feel a
deep interest in whatever facts may
be presented in relation to the
first discovery and early settle
ment of this their native land.
And the subject is of a higher
interest now, especially to the people of
the great Northwest, as the Norwegians
of Minneapolis celebrate to-day Nor
ways national holiday in most fitting
and extensive way of ceremonial rites
and pomp.
And the subject would not, in an arti-
Gle like this, be dwelt upon at any such
length were it not for the significant
fact that until recently it has generally
been supposed that America was wholly
unknown to European nations previous
to the time of Columbus, which-aS here
shown-is false sentiment entirely.

THE ST. PAUL TEAM.
What Manager Thompson Has to
Say of It---A New Catcher.

Manager Thompson returned to st.
Paul yesterday morning and talks in a
very enthusiastic strain of the st. Paul
base ball team, which he left in Osh-
kosh. He says it is conceded by ball
players in all towns visited that the
team is one of the strongest, if not the
strongest, in the Northwestern league.
The change in the positions of the
team, putting Crooks at second. Pickett
at third, Cleveland at short and McCau-
ley at first, he says has proven a good
move. Stockwell has been made cap
tain, and under his coaching the men
work in fine shape. Mr.. Thompson has
recently engaged new catcher, Charles
Pollard. who comes from an amateur
club in Massachusetts,, but who has been
highly spoken of by Chicago base ball
men who have seen his practice.
He is now in st. Paul 1t
will be six weeks before Calender
will be able to do much work behind
the bat, and Legg's eyes will hardly al
low him to play that position for two
weeks atAeast. So Pollard was secured
to relieve Stockwell. Mr.. Thompson
said that not one of the men had tasted
a drop of liquor since leaving st. Paul,
and the rule requiring them to be i'm
their rooms as early as 10 O'clock at
night was strictly enforced. The nine

BISMARCK, OAK, May 16.-George E.
Reed, city treasurer of Bismarck, disap-
peared Saturday evening and has not
yet been heard FROM. No crookedness
in his accounts was suspected until this
morning, when an attachment suit was
brought against him by his partner in
business, George Rice. An investiga-
ton was at once made, and the report
circulated that a shortage of S14, 900 was
discovered. Later investigation shows
that not more than $1,000 remains unac-
counted for. His bond as city treasurer,
together with the city bond record, are
missing. Reed drew $500 from Mellon
Bros bank on Saturday before leaving,
and drove across the country to Memo
ken, where he is supposed to have taken
train for the East. His bondsmen are
Alex Mckenzie, l.. M. Griffin, j. p.
HOagland and j.. II. Richards. City
Clerk Barrett, whose duties require him
to keep all official bonds of the city, is
also liable unless the missing bond can
be found. Reed is young man about
30 years old, and, though full of life and
fun, has never been suspected of dis
honesty. His wife says he gave her no
intimation of his intention to leave, and
she has no idea where he has gone. His
friends hope he may yet turn up all
right.

reason of the death of two promising
young men just developing into man
hood. Stephen Rines, 10 years old, only
son of c. II. Rines, of this place, was
buried in the West Branch cemetery to-
day at 2 o'clock p. M. He had been con-
valeScent from severe attack of diph-
liberia, but a relapse occurred with fatal
result. While the funeral services were
being held, Roy Jones, aged about Is
years, only son of Albert Jones, was
drowned in the Rum river, while bath
ing a short distance below town. It is
supposed that he was taken with
cramp, as his companions say that when
he sank out of sight, he did not rise to
the surface. His father has been con-
fined to his bed by sickness for the last
three months, and it is feared that he
will not recover from the shock Occa-
stoned by his sons death. II. C. Head

caused by the horse he was driving get
ting beyond control while fastening to
the scene of the drowning. His physi-

OSHKOSH, Wis, May 16.-Barring the
last half of the third inning, when by
ineXcusable errors of the home nine
three men secured bases and were
brought in by a three-bagger of Cleve-
land, the game to-day was one of the
best seen here this season. Sowders
was very effective, and was well backed
up at all points, while Krock played his
usually fine game, though the ground
lost in the early innings could not be
recovered. Gastfield did splendid work
behind the bat, and not one of the St.
Paul men dared steal base. The
features of the game were the battery
work of Sowders and Stockwell, the
batting of Cleveland and StockweIl and
the fielding of Murphy for st. Paul,
while for the home team Shafer made a
beautiful catch, running from second
base out into center field. The batting
of Roche, O'Connell and Burns was
good, while Hoy and Roche divided the
honors OF stealing bases, Roche making
one of the boldest steals from second to
third ever seen. Following is the score: !:

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 16.-Swan
B-os., well-known cattle men, have

etit of all creditors. The liabilities aye

same. The cause of the failure is shrink

| claim that if given time they can pay in
| full. The failure causes great surprise
| to most of the people here.
CHICAGO, May 16.-The following
from Cheyenne is another version of the
Swan Bros failure. 1t became known
here early this morning that late last
Saturday night Swan Bros, the we'll
known firm of live stock dealers, COLI
sisting of Alexander and John Swan,
had made an assignment of all the prop
erty of the firm, and Of the individual
members of the firm, for the
benefit of their creditors with
bilities are not yet accurately de-
termined, but it is learned from the best
authority that the assets of tie firm will
be largely in excess of the liabilities.
Swan Bros. have been doing an eX-
tensive business throughout the West,
and up to this time have met their en-
gagementS promptly and enjoyed the
highest degree of public confidence and
credit. The direct cause of this suspen-
sion is due to the action brought against
A. H. Swan by the German Savings
bank of Davenport, Ia, on note which
had been signed by Swan as security,
and no ultimate loss could occur because
OF the bank being fully protected by the
property of the principals. This action,
however, caused the creditors not adj
vised of the real facts to become
alarmed, and many claims were pre-
sented against the firm not yet due and
for which payment had been provided
at maturity, but these demanded imme-
diate settlement. The assignment is in
no way connected with the business of
the Swan Land & Cattle company, and
will involve no other interests than
those mentioned.
